Stay at home fathers are a growing group in American society. However, most research has focused on the quality of care provided by stay at home fathers, rather than the decision making which determines which parent stays home. We sought to investigate this by attempting to put a price tag on maternal care versus paternal care while examining the potential effects of nationality and social support on that price tag. We collected data from 240 participants in the United States and 250 from Norway via online survey. Participants were asked how much a mother needs to earn to allow her husband to stay at home to provide childcare and how much a father needs to earn to allow his wife to stay at home and provide childcare, in addition to items to assess gender roles attitudes. No effect of social support was found, but Norwegians were slightly more likely than Americans to place a heavier earning burden on the husband. There were few differences in gender role attitudes by nationality. The impact of public policy and social desirability on the results are discussed.

Resumen
The strict family reunification policies in Norway and Denmark have affected many individual’s family life. Individuals currently struggle to be reunited with their non-EU family members because of strict requirements. For some, moving to Sweden can be a solution due to their more liberal reunification policies. This paper analyses how family reunification policy in Norway and Denmark has affected the lives of those who relocate to Sweden. The method that was used for the analysis was the interviewing method. In the theoretical framework transnationalism was applied, and it focuses on the connection transnational migrants have with three countries at the same time. The transnational perspective illustrates the different obstacles transnational migrants face. The analysis showed that the reasons individuals relocated from Denmark and Norway was because of age and income requirements, deportation and suspect of arranged marriage by the migration agencies. The analysis also showed that distance relationship, distant parenthood, social belonging and identity helped shape the individual’s life.

Resumen
Norwegians keep moving away from the small villages in the countryside to the bigger towns. They seek the urban life far away from the boring and all too safe life in the parish. In other countries we can see something different, and among these are Netherland. More and more people here wants away from the stressful life in the big tows, to peace and quiet in rural areas. Their only problem is the lack of these places. Some solve this problem by moving to countries like Norway. This thesis is about Dutch who move to the Norwegian countryside to find the perfect place to live, a place where it‟s quiet, where they can be close to nature and give their children a safe place to grow up. They are in search for the rural idyll. The picture they have of this idyll also involves more freedom at work, including less working hours and the opportunity to arrange this themselves. Another wish is to have more spare time with their children. To achieve this, they become entrepreneurs. The theme of this thesis will be discussed within a theoretical framework of the concepts of rurality and entrepreneurship. Globalization and place will also be introduced. To find out more about this subject, I have talked to five Dutch couples living in rural areas in southern Norway, and operating their own businesses.

Resumen
Sexual minorities or those minoritized as a result of the expressed or assumed sexual orientations and identities (i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer), by virtue of their sometimes stigmatized identities, oftentimes report deleterious and unprovoked experiences of harassment, victimization, and prejudice. For several decades, research has confirmed that lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals are at high risk for maladaptive outcomes, including higher rates of suicidality, depression, substance use and abuse, and anxiety disorders. The goal of this dissertation was to 1) document and compare these disparities across two cultures, 2) disentangle social support systems that are important to sexual minorities, and 3) identify factors that best protect sexual minorities against the effects of bias-based bullying. Large datasets were used to compare, understand, and trace the processes of interpersonal relational support on adjustment for sexual minorities. Specifically, different cultural normativities were hypothesized to explain differences in adjustment across culture, parent support was hypothesized to be most associated with lower depression and higher self-esteem, and parent acceptance was expected to buffer the relation between bias-based bullying and depression for sexual minorities. These expectations were generally supported and demonstrate the clear role that parents and friends contribute to mental health for sexual minorities. Implications for future research, parents, teachers, and other stakeholders are discussed in different contexts of sexual minority adjustment.

Resumen
This thesis aims to analyze the development, its deteminants, instruments and objectives of family policy in the Czech Republic and Norway, focusing on maternity and parental leave. With respect to the different attitude of the two policies, support for families with children is compared on several theoretical levels and also demonstrates the use of supporting families in practice. It was found out, that Norway provides greater support to the ratio of expenditure to GDP, as well has a more appropriate measures for families in the context of harmonization of work and family life. In addition to the comparison between these two systems of family policy the thesis also provides suggestions for improvement using the Norwegian model.

Resumen
CHDS State/Local
The U.S. government has recently contended that communities cannot be prepared without first ensuring the safety of responders and their families. Organizations have generally done little to nothing to ensure that the families of their responders are adequately prepared to survive and function on their own in the absence of the responder. Consequently, there exists a widespread policy gap concerning family preparedness in the first-responder community. Research indicates that much of the U.S. population has ignored the U.S. governments preparedness message and opted not to prepare. This thesis used a selection research method to explore whether the development and execution of a family preparedness program would assist the Delaware State Police (DSP) in maintaining its capability during a major crisis. Good ideas and precedent for creating such policy were captured from existing literature, leading to the conclusion that the DSP should mandate a comprehensive family preparedness program that includes emergency records management, the development of family liaison troopers, and go-kits for families as issued equipment. The thesis further concludes that responder family preparedness is different from general citizen preparedness and that leaving it in the optional category is insufficient.

As distribuições generalizadas têm sido amplamente estudadas na Estatística e diversos autores têm investigado novas distribuições de sobrevivência devido a sua flexibilidade para ajustar dados. Neste trabalho um novo método de compor distribuições é proposto: a família Half-Normal-G, em que G e chamada distribuição baseline. Demostramos que as funções densidades das distribuiçõess propostas podem ser expressas como combinação linear de funções densidades das respectivas exponencializadas-G. Diversas propriedades dessa família são estudadas. Apresentamos também uma nova distribuição de probabilidade baseado na Família de Distribuições Generalizadas Kumaraswamy (kw- G), j a conhecida na literatura. Escolhemos como baseline a distribuição Nadarajah- Haghighi, recentemente estudada por Nadarajah e Haghighi (2011) e que desenvolveram algumas propriedades interessantes. Estudamos várias propriedades da nova distribuição Kumaraswamu-Nadarajah-Haghighi (Kw-NH) e fizemos duas aplicações de bancos de dados mostrando empiricamente a flexibilidade do modelo.

Resumen
The Nordic welfare state is usually referred to as the most successful model of its kind; this social system based on the principle of universalism is a common ideal for other European states. The goal of the diploma thesis The Nordic Welfare State Model is to introduce this social model, both from a theoretical and practical point of view. The description of theoretic models as well as the history of European welfare states are vital in order to understand the functioning of social systems; however the main purpose of this paper is to characterize the Nordic welfare state model through the examples of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden and to capture the main commonalities and disparities in comparison with the rest of Europe. Based on up-to-date analyses of mainly Scandinavian researchers as well as reports of international organizations this paper offers an extensive analysis of the Nordic Welfare State Model.

Resumen
Detta arbetes syfte är att se vilka olika familjekonstellationer som existerar i ett urval av bilderböcker som utkommit mellan 1989 och 2015. Dessa familjekonstellationers framställning har jämförts med hjälp av ett normkritiskt perspektiv, analyserats utifrån rådande normer som gäller familj och familjeliv i samhället och den statistik som tagits fram över olika familjeformer i Sverige under början av 2000-talet. Resultatet visar att de fyra olika bilderböckernas familjer alla på något sätt går emot normen, men att den familj som stämmer bäst överens med bilden om hur kärnfamiljen ska se ut är den nyaste av de fyra utvalda bilderböckerna.
The aim of this study is to explore the different family constellations that exists in a selection of children’s picture books published between the years of 1989 and 2015. The representations of these family constellations have been compared by critically investigating norms that applies to families and they have been analyzed by these norms and the statistics that existed in society at the beginning of the 21th century. The result shows that all of the four chosen picture-books goes against the norm on some point, but that the newest of the four books is the one that most resembles the picture of a nuclear family.

Resumen
The aim of this research was to establish what black adults' perceptions are of factors that contribute to healthy family functioning. Qualitative research was conducted. Random sampling was used to obtain eighteen black participants between the ages of 20 and 50. These participants responded in writing to the following open ended question: "What factors do you think contribute to healthy family functioning?" Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with the eight participants who presented with the richest data. Analysis of the data yielded 10 prevalent themes and eleven other themes. The 10 prevalent themes were: respect, love, communication, family time/spending time together, trust, understanding, discipline, availability for each other, boundaries and religion. The other eleven themes were: personal space, responsibility, hierarchy, family rules, conflict handling, morality, roles, maturity, intelligence, culture and forgiveness. The above mentioned 21 themes were grouped in seven broad categories, namely communication, conflict handling, affectionate involvement, family rules, boundaries, religion and other dimensions. All these themes were compared to existing research results. It appeared that themes of this study correspond with many dimensions of family functioning as indicated by family therapy models and existing research. Participants also indicated new dimensions not mentioned by the existing literature. Recommendations were made concerning future research.

Resumen
Cette thèse est dédiée à l'étude des propriétés de compacité de familles d'applications analytiques entre espaces analytiques définis sur un corps métrisé non-Archimédien $k$.Nous travaillons dans le contexte des espaces analytiques développés par Berkovich pour exploiter leur topologie modérée.Une de nos motivations est le désire d'introduire une notion naturelle d'hyperbolicité au sens de Kobayashi dans ce cadre.Nous démontrons d'abord un analogue au théorème de Montel pour des applications analytiques à valeurs dans un domaine borné de l'espace affine.Afin de ceci faire, nous paramétrisons l'espace des applications analytiques d'un polydisque ouvert dans un polydique fermé par le spectre analytique d'une $k$-algèbre de Banach adéquate.Le résultat découle alors de la compacité séquentielle de cet espace.Nos résultats mènent naturellement à une définition de famille normale, et nous introduisons ensuite deux ensembles de Fatou associés à un endomorphisme de l'espace projectif.Nous montrons que les composantes de Fatou se comportent comme dans le cas complexeet ne contiennent pas d'image non-triviale de la droite affine épointée.Ensuite, nous appliquons notre notion de normalité à l'étude de l'hyperbolicité dans le cadre non-Archimédien.Nous reprenons les travaux de W. Cherry et démontrons plusieurs caractérisations des variétés projectives lisses pour lesquelles la semi-distance de Cherry-Kobayashi sur l'ensemble des points rigides définit la topologie usuelle.Nous obtenons finalement une caractérisation des courbes algébriques lisses $X$ de caractéristique d'Euler négative en termes de la normalité de certaines familles d'applications analytiques à valeurs dans $X$
This thesis is devoted to the study of compactness properties of spaces of analytic maps between analytic spaces defined over a non-Archimedean metrized field $k$. We work in the theory of analytic spaces as developed by Berkovich to fully exploit their tame topology. One of our motivations is the strive to introduce a natural notion of Kobayashi hyperbolicity in this setting.We first prove an analogue of Montel’s theorem for analytic maps taking values in a bounded domain of the affine space. In order to do so, we parametrize the space of analytic maps from an open polydisk to a closed one by the analytic spectrum of a suitable Banach $k$-algebra. Our result then follows from the sequential compactness of this space.Our results naturally lead to a definition of normal families, and we subsequently introduce two notions of Fatou sets attached to an endomorphism of the projective space. We show that Fatou components behave like in the complex case and cannot contain non trivial images of the punctured affine line.Thereupon, we apply our normality notion to the study of hyperbolicity in the non-Archimedean setting. We pursue the work of W. Cherry and prove various characterizations of smooth projective varieties whose Cherry-Kobayashi semi distance on the set of rigid points defines the classical topology. We finally obtain a characterization of smooth algebraic curves $X$ of negative Euler characteristic in terms of the normality of certain families of analytic maps taking values in $X$

Resumen
In this study we propose three new distributions and a study with longitudinal data. The first was the Odd log-logistic normal distribution: theory and applications in analysis of experiments, the second was Odd log-logistic t Student: theory and applications, the third was the Odd log-logistic skew normal: the new distribution skew-bimodal with applications in analysis of experiments and the fourth regression model with random effect of the Odd log-logistic skew normal distribution: an application in longitudinal data. Some have been demonstrated such as symmetry, quantile function, some expansions, ordinary incomplete moments, mean deviation and the moment generating function. The estimation of the model parameters were approached by the method of maximum likelihood. In applications were used regression models to data from a completely randomized design (CRD) or designs completely randomized in blocks (DBC). Thus, the models can be used in practical situations for as a completely randomized designs or completely randomized blocks designs, mainly, with evidence of asymmetry, kurtosis and bimodality.
A distribuição normal é uma das mais importantes na área de estatística. Porém, não é adequada para ajustar dados que apresentam características de assimetria ou de bimodalidade, uma vez que tal distribuição possui apenas os dois primeiros momentos, diferentes de zero, ou seja, a média e o desvio-padrão. Por isso, muitos estudos são realizados com a finalidade de criar novas famílias de distribuições que possam modelar ou a assimetria ou a curtose ou a bimodalidade dos dados. Neste sentido, é importante que estas novas distribuições tenham boas propriedades matemáticas e, também, a distribuição normal como um submodelo. Porém, ainda, são poucas as classes de distribuições que incluem a distribuição normal como um modelo encaixado. Dentre essas propostas destacam-se: a skew-normal, a beta-normal, a Kumarassuamy-normal e a gama-normal. Em 2013 foi proposta a nova família X de distribuições Odd log-logística-G com o objetivo de criar novas distribuições de probabildade. Assim, utilizando as distribuições normal e a skew-normal como função base foram propostas três novas distribuições e um quarto estudo com dados longitudinais. A primeira, foi a distribuição Odd log-logística normal: teoria e aplicações em dados de ensaios experimentais; a segunda foi a distribuição Odd log-logística t Student: teoria e aplicações; a terceira foi a distribuição Odd log-logística skew-bimodal com aplicações em dados de ensaios experimentais e o quarto estudo foi o modelo de regressão com efeito aleatório para a distribuição distribuição Odd log-logística skew-bimodal: uma aplicação em dados longitudinais. Estas distribuições apresentam boas propriedades tais como: assimetria, curtose e bimodalidade. Algumas delas foram demonstradas como: simetria, função quantílica, algumas expansões, os momentos incompletos ordinários, desvios médios e a função geradora de momentos. A flexibilidade das novas distrições foram comparada com os modelos: skew-normal, beta-normal, Kumarassuamy-normal e gama-normal. A estimativas dos parâmetros dos modelos foram obtidas pelo método da máxima verossimilhança. Nas aplicações foram utilizados modelos de regressão para dados provenientes de delineamentos inteiramente casualizados (DIC) ou delineamentos casualizados em blocos (DBC). Além disso, para os novos modelos, foram realizados estudos de simulação para verificar as propriedades assintóticas das estimativas de parâmetros. Para verificar a presença de valores extremos e a qualidade dos ajustes foram propostos os resíduos quantílicos e a análise de sensibilidade. Portanto, os novos modelos estão fundamentados em propriedades matemáticas, estudos de simulação computacional e com aplicações para dados de delineamentos experimentais. Podem ser utilizados em ensaios inteiramente casualizados ou em blocos casualizados, principalmente, com dados que apresentem evidências de assimetria, curtose e bimodalidade.

O presente trabalho tem como foco o parentesco por aliança, sendo esta uma relação que se estabelece sem o privilégio da escolha, tão cara aos indivíduos na contemporaneidade. Neste sentido, busca avaliar como se dá o processo de integração e inserção da nora na família por aliança e a percepção da sogra diante da chegada, na família, deste novo membro feminino; como os cônjuges, pivôs do parentesco por aliança, imprimem ritmo à relação com a parentela e ainda, que estratégias constroem para superação de tensões e conflitos. Os efeitos dos diferentes pertencimentos sociais sobre estas relações é um ponto que deve ser considerado na medida em que as trocas materiais são, muitas vezes, responsáveis pela aproximação dos indivíduos na família. Vale ressaltar as imagens de família como instrumento rico para análise das relações.
This current research focuses on the alliance relationship, which is a relationship that is established without the privilege of choice, so dear to people nowadays. In this sense, It assessed how it is the process of integration and insertion of the daughter-in-law in the family for alliance and the perception of the parents before the arrival in the family, this new female member, such as spouses, pivots of kinship by alliance, who gives rhythm to the relationship with relatives, and also that builds strategies to overcome tensions and conflicts. The effects of different social backgrounds on these relationships are a point that should be considered in that exchange materials which are often responsible for bringing the individuals in the family. It is noteworthy the family images like a rich instrument for analysis of relationships.

Resumen
Three groups are examined: the family, followers and friends. The structure,functions and tensions of these groups are described and their dynamics analysed in the fields of decision making and conflict resolution. The approach offers a dialectic between Latin and French sources, historical and literary, and social science theories. This opens up new avenues for analysis and allows a holistic description of medieval politics and society. The family comprised parents and their children. Within this small unit affection was very strong; outside, it quickly declined. Although uncles and nephews had political links there was considerably less emotional attachment between them than between parent-child and sibling relationships. Three types of follower are examined: household retainers, enfeoffed tenants and 'neighbours'. Household knights had the strongest emotional bonds to their lord and were seen as the most loyal. Tenants who performed homage were called `men'; 'vassal' is shown to mean 'good follower'. An aristocrat exercised considerable control within his lands and beyond them he maintained some power. In these areas people may have obeyed his will without having any direct link with him. Such people were often called 'neighbours'. Informal influences such as love and fear are shown to have more force than the formal bonds created through homage and oaths. Concepts of 'treason' and 'defiance' are also examined. Five types of friendship are identified: friendship as courtesy, formal friendship, emotional friendship, company and companionship. Calling someone 'friend' was a sign of politeness. Political agreements, often termed covenants, created formal bonds of friendship. A new methodology for investigating emotional friendship is proposed. Groups with a strong identity were called companies. Companionship was a close bond, usually between two men, that combined elements of formal and emotional friendship. This description of the socio-political dynamics of the aristocracy offers an alternative to earlier models and greatly enhances our understanding of Anglo-Norman politics and society.

Resumen
DNA methylation is one of the principal epigenetic modifications that plays an essential role in transcriptional regulation. After fertilization, mammalian embryos undergo dynamic changes in genome-wide DNA methylation patterns and the changes are essential for normal embryo development. Ten-eleven translocation (TET) methylcytosine dioxygenases are implicated in DNA demethylation by catalyzing the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). The three members of TET protein family, TET1, TET2, and TET3, are highly expressed in preimplantation embryos in a stage-specific manner. Previous studies demonstrated that TET proteins are involved in diverse biological processes such as gene regulation, pluripotency maintenance, and cell differentiation by mediating 5mC oxidation. My dissertation research was conducted to elucidate the mechanistic roles of TET proteins in epigenetic reprogramming of mammalian embryos using porcine embryos as a model. The first set of studies focused on the relationship between TET proteins and pluripotency. To understand the role of TET proteins in establishing pluripotency in preimplantation embryos, CRISPR/Cas9 technology and TET-specific inhibitors were applied. TET1 depletion unexpectedly resulted in an increased expression of NANOG and ESRRB genes in blastocysts, although the DNA methylation levels of NANOG promoter were not changed. Interestingly, transcript abundance of TET3 was increased in blastocysts carrying inactivated TET1, which might have had an effect on the increase of NANOG and ESRRB. When the activity of TET enzymes was inhibited to eliminate the compensatory increase of TET3 under the absence of functional TET1, the expression levels of NANOG and ESRRB were decreased and methylation level of NANOG promoter was increased. In addition, ICM specification was impaired by the inhibition of TET enzymes. These results suggest that the TET family is a critical component of the pluripotency network of porcine embryos by regulating expression of genes involved in pluripotency and early lineage specification. In the next set of studies, the presence of TET3 isoforms in porcine oocytes and cumulus cells was investigated to dissect the gene structure of TET3 that could assist in understanding mechanistic actions of TET3 in the DNA demethylation process. Among the three TET3 isoforms identified in cumulus cells, only the pTET3L isoform, which contains CXXC domain that carry DNA binding property, was verified in mature porcine oocytes. Expression level of the pTET3L isoform was much higher in mature oocytes compared to that in somatic cells and tissues. In addition, the transcript level of this isoform was significantly increased during oocyte maturation. These results suggest that pTET3L isoform is predominantly present in mature porcine oocytes and that CXXC domain may play an important role in DNA demethylation in zygotes. In a follow-up study, the role of the TET3 CXXC domain in controlling post-fertilization demethylation in porcine embryos was investigated by injecting TET3 GFP-CXXC into mature porcine oocytes. The injected CXXC was exclusively localized in the pronuclei, indicating that the CXXC domain may localize TET3 to the nucleus. The CXXC overexpression reduced the 5mC level in zygotes and enhanced the DNA demethylation of the NANOG promoter in 2-cell stage embryos. Furthermore, the transcript abundance of NANOG and ESRRB was increased in blastocysts derived from GFP-CXXC overexpressing zygotes. These results provide an evidence that the CXXC domain of TET3 is critical for post-fertilization demethylation of porcine embryos and proper expression of pluripotency related genes in blastocysts. In the last set of studies, the impact of MBD proteins on porcine embryo development was examined under the hypothesis that competitive binding of MBD and TET proteins to 5mC contributes to the proper maintenance of DNA methylation levels in embryos. Cloning of porcine MBD1, MBD3, and MBD4 from mature oocytes indicates that the genes are highly conserved among different species, implying the involvement of porcine MBD proteins in the maintenance of DNA methylation. MBD1 overexpression in oocytes impaired preimplantation development of porcine embryos, suggesting that the MBD1 overexpression may have negatively affected porcine embryo development because proper DNA methylation levels were not preserved under the high level of MBD1. Collectively, the studies in my dissertation demonstrate that TET family proteins are important epigenetic players involved in the regulation of pluripotency and reprogramming of DNA methylation, and are thus crucial for normal embryo development. The findings in the dissertation will improve our understanding of epigenetic events occurring in mammalian embryos, and have the potential to overcome epigenetic defects that are observed in pluripotent stem cells and in-vitro derived embryos.
Doctor of Philosophy
Epigenetic modifications are heritable changes affecting the level of gene expression without changing the sequence of the genome. DNA methylation, one of the biggest epigenetic marks in mammalian genome, is often correlated to gene repression. In mammals, DNA methylation patterns are dramatically changed during preimplantation development to acquire embryonic developmental potential. Understanding of the epigenetic changes occurring in preimplantation embryos is necessary for producing healthy domestic animals in agriculture and for developing strategies for the treatment of epigenetic defects in human. Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family enzymes, TET1, TET2, and TET3, are known to function as a DNA methylation modifier by converting 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). My dissertation research was performed to elucidate the role of TET family during preimplantation development using porcine embryos as a model. Pluripotency refers to the ability of cells to differentiate into all cell types of a mature organism. Pluripotent cells emerge in embryos as embryonic cells acquire lineage-specific characteristics. The first set of studies focused on the role of TET enzymes in regulating the pluripotency of porcine embryos. The impacts of inhibited activities of TET enzymes on the expression of pluripotency related genes were examined. We found that the inhibition of all TET enzymes leads to a decreased expression of pluripotency related genes, an altered DNA methylation level on a gene segment controlling pluripotency, and the impaired formation of pluripotent cell lineage in porcine embryos. This study demonstrates that the TET family is critical for the acquisition of pluripotency in porcine embryos. In the following sets of studies, the function of TET3 protein in the demethylation process occurring in preimplantation embryos was investigated. Fertilized mammalian embryos undergo genome-wide demethylation process to reset germ cell specific epigenetic marks into the embryonic epigenome. Previous studies indicate that TET3 is responsible for the demethylation process in mammalian embryos, although detailed mechanistic action of TET3 is still elusive. Here, we identified a predominant expression of a specific TET3 gene in porcine oocytes. The TET3 gene contained a CXXC domain, a potential DNA binding module, suggesting that TET3 may mediate DNA demethylation through its DNA binding property. To examine the function of the CXXC domain in TET3-mediated DNA demethylation, isolated CXXC domain was injected into porcine oocytes. The injection of CXXC domain facilitated DNA demethylation in embryos, demonstrating that the DNA binding property of TET3 is important for its functionality. In the last study, we investigated the importance of genes known to interact with TET enzymes in porcine embryos. Methyl-CpG-binding domain proteins (MBDs) have the ability to bind methylated region on the genome and play a critical role in mediating DNA methylation and gene repression. Our hypothesis was that a competitive binding of MBD and TET proteins to methylated regions was critical for proper DNA methylation levels in embryos. We identified that porcine MBD sequences were very similar to other species in terms of gene structure, indicating that the genes could also possess gene repressing activity by competing with TET enzymes during porcine embryo development. Injection of MBD1 mRNA to oocytes impaired normal embryo development, suggesting that the injected MBD1 may have negatively affected early embryo development in pigs by disrupting the proper maintenance of DNA methylation levels. My dissertation researches demonstrate that maintaining proper DNA methylation levels through the TET family is critical for normal embryo development in pigs. This research assists in improving our understating of epigenetic dynamics occurring in mammalian embryos and offers a potential solution to the epigenetic defects frequently observed in mammalian embryos produced through artificial reproductive technologies and pluripotent stem cells reprogrammed from somatic cells.

Resumen
The B cell repertoire in the neonatal immune system (IS) is characterised by reactivity towards self-components, including other immunoglobulin (Ig) V-regions. These properties have been suggested to be a requirement for the development of a normal immune system. DNA sequencing of two interacting Ig idiotypes, derived from neonatal, preimmune mice, demonstrated that such idiotypic connectivity is germ- line encoded and devoid of VDJ junctional diversity. The serum levels of the same Ig idiotypes were studied in normal mice and demonstrated that the expression in serum fluctuated over time in a pattern compatible with a complex dynamic system. In contrast, similar analyses in autoimmune mice or humans demonstrated fluctuations in Ig titers that differed significantly from the healthy individuals. These findings suggested that pathological autoimmunity may be associated with fundamental alterations in the dynamics of natural antibody (ab) expression. This was further investigated in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, an animal model for human Type I diabetes. Suppression of the early B cell development in the NOD mouse prevented the development of diabetes, suggesting a role for B cells/Igs in the development of diabetes in these mice. Furthermore, neonatal injections of polyclonal Ig preparations or single, monoclonal natural abs inhibited disease induction. The prevention of diabetes development by one such natural ab was demonstrated to be dependent on both the dose injected and the timing of administration. Studies of the B cell repertoire development in NOD mice, compared to normal mice, by DNA-sequence analyses of IgVH rearrangements utilising genes from the most D-proximal Vh family, Vh7183, supported the idea of an aberrant B cell repertoire in this mouse model. Thus, the adult NOD mouse retained a neonatal pattern of Vh7183 rearrangements. This pattern could, however, be "normalised" by neonatal injection of a natural antibody, previously demonstrated to prevent the development of T cell dependent autoimmunity in the NOD mouse.

Resumen
O presente trabalho se propõe a compreender as elaborações, produzidas por mulheres em privação de liberdade, que buscam conectar os mundos de dentro e de fora da prisão. A pesquisa apresenta quatro principais personagens para discutir que o encarceramento altera profundamente as formas pelas quais as mulheres dão continuidade às relações previamente estabelecidas, mas não as retira completamente dessas mesmas relações e promove outras, antes inexistentes. O gênero é um marcador central para compreender o posicionamento dessas mulheres ao estabelecer expectativas e desempenhos específicos, e se articula à situação social dessas mulheres, pobres. As articulações entre os marcadores são aludidas ao longo do trabalho diante dos discursos que as personagens produzem sobre família e sobre seus relacionamentos amorosos. Tais formulações ajudam a situá-las no mundo da prisão e vincular a experiência do cárcere à vida na rua, tanto em relação ao período anterior à privação de liberdade como em relação às suas perspectivas de futuro.
This study seeks to understand the elaborations produced by women in prison seeking to connect the worlds inside and outside prison. The research presents four main characters to discuss that imprisonment deeply changes the ways in which women continue those previously established relations, but not completely cut off those relations and promotes other, previously nonexistent. Gender is a central marker to understand the positioning of these women to establish specific expectations and performances, and is articulated to the social situation of these women, poor. The joints between the markers are alluded throughout the work with the speeches that the characters produce about family and their relationships. Such formulations help to situate them in the prison world and link the experience of prison with the life on the street, in relation to the previous incarceration and to the expected future period.

This work evaluates the level of energy efficiency standard pattern, located in the brazilian bioclimatic zone 2, through the application of Quality Technical Regulation for Energy Level of Residential Buildings ( RTQ -R ) Efficiency detached buildings, having as a basis for the study city of Santiago-RS. To define the pattern of residences were adopted conceptions of NBR 12721 (ABNT, 2006), which deals with the evaluation of construction costs for real estate development , together with research and analysis project in the city of Santiago-RS. Thus, we assessed the level of energy efficiency of buildings analyzed using prescriptive methods and simulation RTQ-R being used for simulations and computational program DesignBuilder. We defined four buildings objects of study, two elongated rectangular shape with areas of 99,88m² and 142,05m², and two compact rectangular shape of 100,00m² and 168,65m². The name used for this study was based on the shape of the floor plan of the residences. The residences of elongated rectangular presented Level B and compact rectangular Level C in the envelope energy efficiency. Similarities were found in the results obtained by the two methods, especially in energy consumption for heating, presenting Levels A and B, since the degree-hour cooling was variable between levels B and C. It was observed that the buildings have discomfort during the summer. We also evaluated the influence of the thermal properties considered as prerequisites of opaque vertical locks, for it was chosen one of the residences to make alterations to the values of thermal transmittance, absorptance and solar thermal capacity. Starting from the actual data of the external walls of the building, stipulated the values to be simulated, totaling 18 simulations for determining the number of cooling degree-hours and energy consumption for heating and cooling. Thus, there was consistency in the limits of the prerequisites of the RTQ-R, however, it was observed that with low solar absorptance, increased thermal transmittance slightly affected the results, indicating greater consistency in the adoption of prerequisites that involving the thermal characteristics of the closures.
Este trabalho avalia o nível de eficiência energética de edificações unifamiliares padrão normal, localizadas na zona bioclimática 2 brasileira, através da aplicação do Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edificações Residenciais (RTQ-R), possuindo como base de estudo a cidade de Santiago-RS. Para a definição do padrão das residências adotaram-se as concepções da NBR 12721 (ABNT, 2006), que trata da avaliação de custos de construção para incorporação imobiliária, juntamente com pesquisas e análises de projeto na cidade de Santiago-RS. Dessa forma, avaliou-se o nível de eficiência energética das edificações analisadas com base nos métodos prescritivo e de simulação do RTQ-R, sendo utilizado para as simulações o programa computacional DesignBuilder. Definiram-se quatro edificações objetos de estudo, sendo duas de formato retangular alongado com áreas de 99,88m² e 142,05m², e duas de formato retangular compacto de 100,00m², e 168,65m². A denominação usada para este trabalho baseou-se no formato da planta baixa das residências. As residências de formato retangular alongado apresentaram Nível B e as de formato retangular compacto Nível C na eficiência energética da envoltória. Foram encontradas similaridades nos resultados obtidos pelos dois métodos, principalmente, no consumo de energia para aquecimento, apresentando Níveis A e B, já a variável graus-hora de resfriamento alternou entre Níveis B e C. Foi observado que as edificações possuem desconforto no período de verão. Também foi verificada a influência das propriedades térmicas consideradas como pré-requisitos dos fechamentos opacos verticais, para isto escolheu-se uma das residências para realizar as alterações dos valores de transmitância térmica, capacidade térmica e absortância solar. Partindo dos dados reais das paredes externas da edificação, estipularam-se os valores a serem simulados, totalizando 18 simulações para a determinação do número de graus-hora de resfriamento e consumo de energia para aquecimento e refrigeração. Diante disso, verificou-se a coerência dos limites dos pré-requisitos do RTQ-R, porém, foi observado que com a baixa absortância solar, o aumento da transmitância térmica pouco afetou os resultados, indicando maior conformidade na adoção de pré-requisitos que associem as características térmicas dos fechamentos.

Resumen
O objetivo desta tese é traçar um panorama histórico das políticas públicas de planejamento familiar do Estado brasileiro, inserindo-o no contexto da complexa conjuntura sociopolítico-econômica no período de 1980 até a atualidade. Mediante pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, investigam-se, na interseção das políticas para população, mulher e saúde, as influências e interesses que incidem sobre programas de planejamento familiar. Após recuperar brevemente a trajetória dos movimentos de mulheres e feministas, que constituíram atores sociais centrais no debate sobre as políticas de população e de planejamento familiar, focaliza-se a drástica redução nas taxas de fecundidade da mulher brasileira ocorrida a partir dos anos 1960, na vigência oficial de uma política natalista, mas na omissão do Estado ao permitir a difusão no país de organizações de cunho controlista, que viabilizaram às mulheres o acesso à pílula anticoncepcional e à esterilização. Acompanha-se a evolução das políticas de população em nível mundial, destacando a atuação da Organização das Nações Unidas e de suas conferências mundiais, focalizando a Conferência Internacional de População e Desenvolvimento realizada no Cairo em 1994, que provocou uma inflexão nas políticas de saúde da mulher para saúde reprodutiva. No Brasil, que já contava com um programa pioneiro de saúde da mulher o Paism (1983) , os efeitos do Cairo vieram somar-se à definição do planejamento familiar pela Constituição de 1988 e à instituição do Sistema Único de Saúde em 1990. A análise permitiu identificar as influências externas e internas que incidem sobre a política de planejamento familiar. A política de planejamento familiar do país hoje configura-se democrática, abrangente e descentralizada, sendo a principal tensão identificada entre seus enunciados e sua implementação na prática, ou seja, só será efetiva se houver um controle social eficaz.
The purpose of this study is to elaborate a historical overview of Brazilian state family planning policies within the complex socio-political period from 1980 to the present. By resorting to related literature and official documents, influences and interests on family planning programs are examined in their inter-relation with population, women, and health policies. After a brief recollection of women and feminist movements, who were central actors in the debate on population and family planning policies, the analysis focuses the drastic reduction in fertility rates in the country from the 1960s on, when the state, while holding a natalism official policy, overlooked the spreading of birth control agencies all over the country, which made sterilization and the pill available to women. The evolution of population policies is followed in parallel, underlining the United Nations world conferences, particularly the International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994, which drew an inflection on womens health policies onto reproductive health. Its echoes in Brazil added up to the pioneering program on womens health Paism (1983), to the definition of family planning in the countrys Constitution of 1988, and to the institution of the national Health System in 1990. The analysis allowed to identifying foreign and internal pressures acting upon family planning policies. The countrys current family planning policy may be said to be a democratic, far-reaching and decentralised one, where the main tension lies on the gap between its statement and its practical implementation which can only be overcome by an effective social control.

Resumen
Over the last twenty years, the analysis of social networks has become an increasingly significant tool for sociologists, anthropologists and historians alike. Network analysis has not yet, however, been adopted extensively by historians of ducal Normandy or the Anglo-Norman realm. Although there has been some useful work on specific families or political groups, these have tended to artificially isolate networks from one another and from their broader social milieux. It has become clear that these problems can only be addressed by both inter and intra network analysis over a broader time frame, and that those networks themselves must also be conceived in broad terms. This thesis therefore considers three aristocratic kin-groups of significant contemporary and subsequent importance; the Clares, Giffards, and Tosnys, and includes both their cadet branches and their in-laws. All three groups are examined in terms of their kinship structures, their roles as lords and vassals, and their relationships to the church. While much of the material is Anglo-Norman, the chronological range extends from c.940 to c.1200. The aim has been to produce a fuller picture of how all three great family enterprises were constituted, developed, interacted with one another and were embedded within society, and to acknowledge that no man, and indeed, no kin-group, is an island entire of itself.

Resumen
The present study examines three non-marital, romantic relationship dissolution types: (1) normal dyadic dissolution, (2) fatal attraction dissolution, and (3) social allergen dissolution among a sample of 321 emerging adults, who are between ages eighteen and twenty-nine. Results of an online survey revealed that normal dyadic dissolution occurred in 62%, social allergen dissolution occurred in 27%, and fatal attraction dissolution occurred in 11% of the participants’ relational demises. Results also revealed that there is a surprising amount of overlap between the three dissolution types, and that age is not specifically correlated with a particular dissolution type. However, there are two predicators of dissolution type within an emerging adult population: perceived family support and whether or not the couple cohabitate.

Resumen

Syftet med vår uppsats är att ur ett sociologiskt samhällsteoretiskt perspektiv, ge både oss själva och läsaren en ökad förståelse för och synliggöra flickor från vissa etniska grupper och deras intim- och familjerelationer i Sverige. För att kunna förstå flickornas eventuella problem och konflikter i familjen tar vi hjälp av Niklas Luhmanns systemteori och hans analys av intima relationer och familjen i det moderna samhället. De frågeställningar som besvaras är:

• Vilka skillnader mellan det förmoderna och moderna samhällets syn på intim- och familjerelationer ställs flickorna i vårt material inför?

• Hur kan dessa skillnader tolkas och förstås utifrån Luhmanns systemteoretiska analys av den moderna familjen?

Vår studie är ett teoretiskt arbete och grundar sig på litteraturstudier. För att kunna besvara våra frågeställningar har vi inspirerats av och löst anknutit oss till en abduktiv metod. Undersökningen tar sin utgångspunkt dels i en nyligen gjord studie av Åsa Andersson, Inte samma lika (2003), och dels i den internationellt erkände sociologen Niklas Luhmanns systemteori och hans analys av intima relationer och familjen.

För att kunna få en sociologisk samhällsteoretisk förståelse för och kunna placera in familjen i det moderna samhällets kontext presenterar vi de delar av Luhmanns teori och begreppsapparat som vi ansåg relevanta för ämnet. Det gör vi för att kunna förstå hur familjen fungerar i det moderna samhället.

Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att de skillnader i synen på intim- och familjerelationer som flickorna har att förhålla sig till finns i såväl den offentliga som den privata sfären. Skillnaderna är flera under respektive sfär men de mest framträdande skillnaderna handlar om moral och förnuft där familjen och den egna etniska gruppen använder mekanismer som skam och skuld för att reducera en ökad kontingens och komplexitet som råder i det moderna samhället. Utifrån flickornas beskrivningar kan vi förstå att deras förväntningar i hög grad skiljer sig från föräldrarnas såväl i valet av äktenskapspartner, hemarbete, mer frihet och ökad jämställdhet i form av utbildning och ekonomiskt oberoende. Utifrån en systemteoretisk synvinkel kan vi även se skillnader på såväl generell som specifik nivå, förändringar av intima relationer kan alltså kopplas till samhällsutvecklingen och dess semantiska koder knutna till familjen som system.

Resumo: O Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) é considerado como uma estratégia de reorganização do modelo assistencial da rede básica, cujo foco são as famílias de determinado território, em que se utiliza a adscrição de clientela, a definição de micro-áreas de risco, o trabalho em equipe e a presença de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS), de forma a integrar ações de promoção, prevenção, assistência e reabilitação. Uma atividade regular do programa é a Visita Domiciliar (VD) realizada pelos ACS e que, por sua expressão numérica e potencial de intervenção na relação do programa com as famílias, constitui-se em objeto privilegiado de reflexão no interior do modelo assistencial. O presente estudo objetivou conhecer o significado, para famílias, equipes de PSF e gestores, da VD e do papel que nela desempenham os ACS, assim como a potência desse instrumento para captar as necessidades de saúde das famílias, de forma a subsidiar a construção de intervenções que favoreçam a autonomia dos usuários. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, cujo material empírico foi obtido através de entrevistas e observação participante. A pesquisa foi realizada no PSF do município de Amparo/SP, envolvendo três unidades de saúde da família, cinco equipes de saúde e 16 ACS. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com usuários, médicos, enfermeiros e gestores, e entrevistas em grupo com os ACS, assim como observação participante das visitas realizadas rotineiramente pelos agentes nos domicílios, em especial a pacientes portadores de doenças crônicas. Os resultados encontrados revelaram que, para as famílias, a VD tem significado a construção de vínculos afetivos com o programa e a equipe, a despeito de questionamentos quanto à resolutividade das visitas; expressaram, por outro lado, um intenso processo de medicalização no que concerne às expectativas quanto à forma de resolução dos seus problemas de saúde. OS ACS demonstraram grande responsabilização pelas famílias adscritas, mas, do ponto de vista institucional, mostraram dificuldades para captar as necessidades de saúde e, sobretudo, para articular junto à equipe, intervenções dirigidas a elas, assim como para lidar com a frustração decorrente da impossibilidade de enfrentá-las. A autonomia dos usuários não se apresentou como elemento constituinte dos objetivos da VD e da atuação do agente, não representando uma ferramenta utilizada pela equipe nos casos em que havia dificuldades para o controle da doença crônica. O estudo aponta a necessidade de rever a norma que orienta a periodicidade da VD e de reformular os seus objetivos e conteúdos, com o propósito de potencializar sua utilização no interior de projetos de cuidado integral elaborados pela equipe do PSF com a participação da família, bem como o desafio necessário de trabalhar na lógica da construção da autonomia dos usuários no cuidado à saúde
Abstract: The Family Health Program (FHP) is considered as a strategy of reorganization of the basic net model of assistance, focus of which is the families of a given territory, where it is used the clientele adscription, the definition of risk micro-areas, the team work and the presence of health community agents, in a way to integrate actions of promotion, prevention, assistance and rehabilitation. A regular activity of the program is the Home Visit (HV), accomplished by the Health Community Agents (HCA), and that, on account of its numerical expression and intervention potential in the family-program relation, constitutes privileged object of reflection within the model of assistance. The present study aimed at knowing the meaning, for families, FHP and managers teams, of the HV and the role the HCA play in there, as well as the power of that instrument to capture the families¿ health needs, in a way to subsidize the construction of interventions to favor the users¿ autonomy. It is a qualitative study, which made use of empirical material obtained through interviews and participant observation. The research was carried out in the Family Health Program of the municipal district of Amparo/SP, involving three units of family health, five health teams and 16 community agents. Individual interviews were performed with users, doctors, nurses and managers, and group interviews with HCA, as well as participant observation of the visits routinely accomplished by the HCA in the homes, especially to patients who carry chronic diseases. The results found revealed that for the families, the HV have meant the construction of a link of more affectionate character with the program and the health team, despite of queries over its effectiveness; on the other had, they have expressed an intense prescription-related process concerning expectations as for the way to solve their health problems. The HCA have demonstrated great responsibility for the adscripted families, but, on the institutional point of view, they showed some difficulties to capture the health needs, mainly aiming at articulating interventions along with the teams, as well as on how to deal with frustration originated from the impossibility of facing them. The users' autonomy did not come as constituent of the objectives of the visits and of the agents' performance, not representing a tool used by the team in the cases when there were difficulties for the control of the chronic disease. The study points to the need of reviewing the norm that guides the HV periodicity and of reformulating its objectives and contents, with the goal of potentializing its use within the total care projects elaborated by the FHP team with the family participation, as well as the necessary challenge of working in the logics of constructing the users¿ autonomy as for the health care

O presente trabalho tem por fito realizar uma análise comparativa da evolução das disposições normativas que tratam da mulher, no direito de família. Para tanto, parti dos elementos integrantes da teoria tridimensional do direito que tem por enfoque a compreensão do direito como resultado do fato, valor e norma. Deste modo, iniciei a discussão partindo das lutas feministas e de sua relevância social e política para um novo posicionamento da mulher na sociedade. O debate em torno da perspectiva patriarcal também é de crucial importância para a análise comparativa realizada a posteriori. O direito enquanto construção social também compõe a estrutura teórica para o exame do direito no contexto da contemporaneidade. Após essas ponderações teóricas, passei à comparação das disposições normativas da codificação de 1916 até a de 2002, que tratavam das mulheres no âmbito do direito de família. Para tanto, a epistemologia feminista foi utilizada como metodologia fulcral para admitir minha participação consciente na produção científica, em uma perspectiva crítica do conhecimento. The aim of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis of the evolution of the regulatory provisions that treat women in family law. Therefore, the parti-dimensional integral elements of the theory of law that is focused on the understanding of law as a result of fact, value and norm. Thus began the discussion starting from the feminist struggles and their social and political relevance to a new position of women in society. The debate around the patriarchal perspective is also of crucial importance for comparative analysis performed retrospectively. The right social construction while also composing the theoretical framework for the examination of the law in the context of post modernity. After these theoretical considerations, I compare the regulatory provisions of the codification of 1916 to 2002, who treated women under family law. Therefore, feminist epistemology and methodology used was central to admit my conscious participation in scientific production, a critical perspective of knowledge.

Resumen
Scientific and technological advances over the past few decades have contributed to an exponential increase in life expectancy for infants born with cystic fibrosis (CF), which can cause fatal lung disease. There has been a paradigmatic shift from reactive treatment towards early disease detection and aggressive intervention of paediatric CF. Previous research has investigated parents’ experiences of the diagnosis phase and later life stages such as adolescence and transition to adulthood. Less is understood about the experience of parenting infants and young children with CF, and no research addresses this during early surveillance for CF lung disease. Early surveillance is rapidly emerging as the likely framework for future therapeutic intervention trials in young children, nationally and internationally. Thus, understanding parents’ mental health is essential to providing support to families during their child’s intensive, early treatment. This research aimed to explore how parents construct their lived experiences of parenting and how they attribute meaning to these experiences. Particular attention was given to coping strategies, informed by a salutogenic model of protective factors that may contribute to family adaptation and resilience. A qualitative methodology, guided by theoretical underpinnings of phenomenology and constructivism was used to explore parents’ experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 67 parents (46 mothers and 21 fathers aged between 23 and 52 years) across sites where early surveillance for CF lung disease operates in Australia. A thematic analytic approach was used to analyse the data. Data revealed that whilst parents described adverse psychological consequences of their child’s participation in early surveillance, it was also evident that beneficial outcomes eclipsed adversities. Five major themes represent the emergent structure of parents’ lived experience: Redefined Expectations and Reimagined Identity, Redefined Reality; Understanding the Unknown and Understanding Uncertainty; Good Days and Bad Days, Fluctuation between Positive and Negative Outlook On Life; Early Surveillance is a Significant Event; And Early Surveillance is in the Best Interest of my Child. Collectively, these highlight that only attending to adverse experiences and outcomes would be to overlook significant beneficial psychological experiences and outcomes of this unique parenting experience. Pathways that enable adaptation to paediatric chronic disease in the context of early surveillance were also identified using a resiliency framework of family adjustment and adaption. These findings contribute to current conceptualisations of parenting children with chronic conditions undergoing modern interventions that aim to delay disease. This research may also inform policy-making and models of best paediatric clinical practice, particularly those embracing a biopsychosocial model of care that promotes parents’ mental health, as well as family resilience and adaptation. The importance of these findings underscores the need for further research to expand our understanding of the parenting experience in the unique context of early surveillance.

"The roles of hepatocyte growth factor family members in androgen-regulation of human hair growth : a comparison of the expression of hepatocyte growth factor family members, HGF and MSP, and their receptors, c-Met and RON, in isolated hair follicles from normal and androgenetic alopecia (balding) scalp".

Resumen
Androgens are the main regulators of human hair growth stimulating larger, terminal hair development e.g. beard and causing scalp balding, androgenetic alopecia. Hair disorders cause psychological distress but are poorly controlled. Androgens probably act by altering regulatory paracrine factors produced by the mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla. This study aimed to investigate paracrine factors involved in androgen-regulated alopecia, particularly hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) family members, by investigating their in vivo status. Balding and non-balding scalp hair follicles and their component tissues were isolated and analysed by molecular biological methods (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), quantitative PCR and DNA microarray analysis), cell culture and immunohistochemistry. Scalp follicles expressed a range of paracrine messenger genes. The dermal papilla, cultured dermal papilla cells and dermal sheath expressed several HGF family genes, while matrix cells only produced the receptor RON suggesting autocrine roles for HGF and MSP, but a paracrine route only for MSP. Comparing balding and non-balding follicles from the same individuals revealed the expected reduction in several keratin and keratin-related protein genes supporting this approach's validity. There were also significant differences in paracrine factors previously implicated in androgen action by in vitro studies. Several factors believed to increase during androgen stimulation of larger, darker follicles, e.g. IGF-I and SCF, were lowered in balding follicles, while putative inhibitory factors, e.g. TGFß-1, were increased. HGF and MSP and their receptors, c-Met and RON, were significantly reduced. These results increase our understanding of androgen action in human hair follicles; this could lead to better treatments for hair disorders.

Resumen
This work is concerned with the genetic basis of normal human pigmentation variation. Specifically, the role of polymorphisms within the solute carrier family 45 member 2 (SLC45A2 or membrane associated transporter protein; MATP) gene were investigated with respect to variation in hair, skin and eye colour ― both between and within populations. SLC45A2 is an important regulator of melanin production and mutations in the gene underly the most recently identified form of oculocutaneous albinism. There is evidence to suggest that non-synonymous polymorphisms in SLC45A2 are associated with normal pigmentation variation between populations. Therefore, the underlying hypothesis of this thesis is that polymorphisms in SLC45A2 will alter the function or regulation of the protein, thereby altering the important role it plays in melanogenesis and providing a mechanism for normal pigmentation variation. In order to investigate the role that SLC45A2 polymorphisms play in human pigmentation variation, a DNA database was established which collected pigmentation phenotypic information and blood samples of more than 700 individuals. This database was used as the foundation for two association studies outlined in this thesis, the first of which involved genotyping two previously-described non-synonymous polymorphisms, p.Glu272Lys and p.Phe374Leu, in four different population groups. For both polymorphisms, allele frequencies were significantly different between population groups and the 272Lys and 374Leu alleles were strongly associated with black hair, brown eyes and olive skin colour in Caucasians. This was the first report to show that SLC45A2 polymorphisms were associated with normal human intra-population pigmentation variation. The second association study involved genotyping several SLC45A2 promoter polymorphisms to determine if they also played a role in pigmentation variation. Firstly, the transcription start site (TSS), and hence putative proximal promoter region, was identified using 5' RNA ligase mediated rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RLM-RACE). Two alternate TSSs were identified and the putative promoter region was screened for novel polymorphisms using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC). A novel duplication (c.–1176_–1174dupAAT) was identified along with other previously described single nucleotide polymorphisms (c.–1721C>G and c.–1169G>A). Strong linkage disequilibrium ensured that all three polymorphisms were associated with skin colour such that the –1721G, +dup and –1169A alleles were associated with olive skin in Caucasians. No linkage disequilibrium was observed between the promoter and coding region polymorphisms, suggesting independent effects. The association analyses were complemented with functional data, showing that the –1721G, +dup and –1169A alleles significantly decreased SLC45A2 transcriptional activity. Based on in silico bioinformatic analysis that showed these alleles remove a microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) binding site, and that MITF is a known regulator of SLC45A2 (Baxter and Pavan, 2002; Du and Fisher, 2002), it was postulated that SLC45A2 promoter polymorphisms could contribute to the regulation of pigmentation by altering MITF binding affinity. Further characterisation of the SLC45A2 promoter was carried out using luciferase reporter assays to determine the transcriptional activity of different regions of the promoter. Five constructs were designed of increasing length and their promoter activity evaluated. Constitutive promoter activity was observed within the first ~200 bp and promoter activity increased as the construct size increased. The functional impact of the –1721G, +dup and –1169A alleles, which removed a MITF consensus binding site, were assessed using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and expression analysis of genotyped melanoblast and melanocyte cell lines. EMSA results confirmed that the promoter polymorphisms affected DNA-protein binding. Interestingly, however, the protein/s involved were not MITF, or at least MITF was not the protein directly binding to the DNA. In an effort to more thoroughly characterise the functional consequences of SLC45A2 promoter polymorphisms, the mRNA expression levels of SLC45A2 and MITF were determined in melanocyte/melanoblast cell lines. Based on SLC45A2’s role in processing and trafficking TYRP1 from the trans-Golgi network to stage 2 melanosmes, the mRNA expression of TYRP1 was also investigated. Expression results suggested a coordinated expression of pigmentation genes. This thesis has substantially contributed to the field of pigmentation by showing that SLC45A2 polymorphisms not only show allele frequency differences between population groups, but also contribute to normal pigmentation variation within a Caucasian population. In addition, promoter polymorphisms have been shown to have functional consequences for SLC45A2 transcription and the expression of other pigmentation genes. Combined, the data presented in this work supports the notion that SLC45A2 is an important contributor to normal pigmentation variation and should be the target of further research to elucidate its role in determining pigmentation phenotypes. Understanding SLC45A2’s function may lead to the development of therapeutic interventions for oculocutaneous albinism and other disorders of pigmentation. It may also help in our understanding of skin cancer susceptibility and evolutionary adaptation to different UV environments, and contribute to the forensic application of pigmentation phenotype prediction.
